China has signaled that it is open to restarting trade talks with the U.S., but only if certain conditions are met. At the top of the list is a demand for respect—Beijing wants Donald Trump to rein in his cabinet members from making hostile or disrespectful remarks. It also wants a clear and consistent U.S. approach, including the appointment of a specific person to lead the negotiations.
Beijing is also pushing for talks that address its core concerns, particularly around Taiwan and the ongoing U.S. sanctions. Chinese officials believe that unless the U.S. shows seriousness and stability in its communication, there’s little point in returning to the table. For China, a respectful tone, consistent messaging, and genuine engagement are key to moving forward.
